Problems with connecting to the net with other softwares?
Question:
I have a LAN connection, my internet is fine with internet explorer,
Messenger, and other general needs of internet.
However, I am having a major problem with other softwares and programs that
are trying to connect to the web. Other softwares such as Java, and any other
softwares that needs to connect to the WEB to update, and/or achieve data and
servers are not able to do so. Often errors pop out saying such and such
software is not able to connect to the web... I checked my internet
connectivity with PING test and it showed me my internet is good...
I am wondering if theres any command i can do to apply my LAN connection to
other softwares when they are connecting to the web?
I would highly appreciate if any of you can help me out here...
Answer:
You most likely have a software firewall that is blocking program access to the internet. Depending on the firewall, you have to allow programs access to the internet by program, by port or both.
